Resing serum antioxidant status is positively correlated with peak oxygen uptake in endurance trained runners

摘要

Bakcground. This study tested the hypothesis that the ability to scavenge free radicals in serum was compromised in trained runners. Methods. Experimental design: peak VO_2, the ability to scavenge Free radicals in serum and the plasma concentration of malon- Dialdehyde (MDA) were assessed in 18 male runners. Participants: subject characteristics (mean±SEM) were height 1.77±0.01 m, mass 71.4±1.2 kg, age 31±1 years and weekly train- ing distance 45±5 km.week~-1.
